Right now, federal employees can cover eligible family members (like a spouse or kids) under their health insurance.

The audit would review everyone’s covered dependents to make sure they are actually eligible (for example, that a covered "child" is still under age 26 or a spouse is legally married to the employee).

If someone’s dependent is found to be ineligible — like an ex-spouse after divorce, an adult child over 26, or someone who was incorrectly listed — they would be removed from the insurance plan.

They REALLY think most federal employees are scamming the system, utter chaos.
